Most if not of the "bad" borrowers on this list can well afford to pay their debts. The question is why they have not been made to do so. Most have assets that can be seized and sold to collect some of the debt. Why isn't our government doing more to collect these so-called bad debts? Why should the Bahamian taxpayers have to pay instead?
To those who owe these debts, there's only one message for you -- PAY UP you shameless losers!
A one room school with bathroom could be built for a quarter of the half million claimed. And for 9 students? Surely there is a building that can be rented for far less than that sum?
I'm guessing that since the contract was awarded to someone on San Salvador who then subcontracted the contract to someone else in Rum Cay that everyone has to get their cut along the way...business as usual.
Gomez is an idiot. If he were really interested in dealing with "conflict of interest" and corruption in government, he doesn't have far too look and could do well starting with his own party.
Personally, I'd like to see the mandatory 15% gratuity done away with. Let me decide if a tip is warranted based on the service I receive. Too many of our people in the service industry either don't get the tips at all (management keeps them), or they know they are getting them, so dont' care. With the rise in minimum wage, this should make doing away with mandatory gratuities an easy decision - unless the union are as out of touch as the government.
Oh, so it's the ambulance driver's fault? Birdie, surely you can't mean some of the silly things you say.
If the Bahamas was a good and decent society, no one would have bothered with the ambulance -- keys or no keys. But look what we've come to accept as normal in this screwed-up, crime-ridden and corrupted little country of ours.
The little punk should be made to pay for every last cent of the damage done -- including 1000 hours of volunteer work at the hospital. I also like the idea of him having to clean the old lady's yard weekly. We have to send a message that this sort of behaviour is unacceptable in a decent society.
And he'd best be glad that the old lady survived, because otherwise, he would be facing manslaughter charges.
Yes, I really would like to know whose side Mr. Christie and his PLP party is on. Evidence suggests their side with their "all for me, baby" attitudes, but could they possibly have some interest in the Bahamian people? Especially the ones old enough to vote?
Unfortunately, the Chinese are only muddying the waters. We know which side Perry Christie is on -- his and his cronies.

Yep, High Sheriff Damien should be filing this one soon. Do these people not understand what "conflict of interest" means?
